Wild Kiwi Encounter

Depart Halfmoon Bay for a cruise across Paterson Inlet to Little Glory Cove. During the cruise pass Ulva Island (a predator-free sanctuary) and learn about Stewart Island's rich history.

The walk, led by your nature guide, is on a well-formed track across the peninsula, through spectacular coastal forest to a secluded sandy beach.

As dusk sets in and daylight diminishes, venture by torchlight through the native forest with the stars and forest night sounds around you. The walk will take about 45 minutes and the track emerges on to Ocean Beach. This wide sandy beach is where Southern brown kiwi (Rakiura Tokoeka) are often found feeding among the grasses and seaweed.
